Express FC coach Wasswa Bbosa has maintained they are still in the race to clinch the Ugandan Premier League title despite dropping points in a 1-1 draw against Mbarara City on Saturday.
The Red Eagles lost ground in the race for the title after Mbarara scored late in the match at Wankulukuku Stadium through Henry Kitengenyi, to cancel Martin Kizza's goal and dent their hopes, as they needed a win in order to close in on the leading duo of Vipers SC and Uganda Revenue Authority FC.
Kizza scored in the 47th minute but Kitengenyi, a former Vipers striker, struck in the 72nd minute, but despite the draw coach Bbosa has maintained they are still firmly in the title race because teams have only played three rounds of matches in the second round of the top-flight.
